Re: Bad Autonumbers

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

I am not quite sure I understand what you are trying to do. It seems
to me you are mixing methods. On one hand you are using an
autonumbering of a paragraph and on the other hand you want to control
it with a system variable for page numbering. That, to my knowledge,
cannot be done. This is one of the things we are missing in FM: the
ability to assign leading zeros to the numbering. If you add leading
zeros like text in the autonumbering or before a page number the
number of zeros will always be the same.

One workaround would be to assign different set of master pages to
each given number of leading zeros (as I think I recall there was a
discussion about earlier this year). Whether you would have to
manually assign these master pages or you could make a [fake?]
paragraph or element that you put on the page starting the next level
(from 0009 to 0010 -- using the ref page master page assignment
system), would depend on your set of files.

There might be a possible solution doing this automatically with FrameScript.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] describes the following issue:

I'm a little confused about what it is you are trying to do. You are talking
about a paragraph autonumber format, yet you are trying to control it
using the numbering properties setting for the Page numbering, which
is totally independent. The Page numbering properties settings only
affect the page number elements on the Master Pages, while paragraph
numbering formats only operate on Body Pages. Are you trying to use
paragraph numbering in a header or footer frame on a Master Page? If
so, that's your problem, because the header and footer frames are not
part of any Body Page flow.
 
If you need to specify a particular starting value for a paragraph 
numbering series, you either do it from the Paragraph tab of the 
Numbering Properties window, or else by using a hard-coded 
autonumber definitions using the form P:000=8 to implement 
the example you mention. The next paragraph that uses the P
numbering series with the formula P:000n+ will then increment
the number to 0009, and the next one after that will increment it 
to 00010 (which may not be what you relly want, I'm guessing...).

But the autonumber isn't a page number, it's a paragraph number. You
need to set paragraph numbering to continue. Note, however, that this
affects all paragraph autonumber series; you can't have, for instance,
figure numbers restart while your package numbers continue.

Bad Autonumbers

[Randall C. Reed]

Listers:

Unstructured Frame 7.2 on XP V2002 SP2: I've got 400 files in the book.
I cannot get a work package number autonumber to work properly in the
files at the beginning of the book. P:000n+ just returns 0001.
I've gone into the document menu on both the book and individual files
and set the Page numbering feature to Continue.  Updated book
numerous times. Re-imported formats. When I add a hard number to the
autonumber in an individual file, it immediately responds with the
correct value on the page, so apparently the tag and function are
working properly.

- What will fix these random bad autonumbers?

- If I hardwire the bad autonumber (change it from P:000n+ to
P:0008, for example) with the following n+ numbers pick up normally
(P:0009, etc., in this example)?

This is crazy. It is just an autonumber. I've been using FM for 13 years
and I know it is not suppose to be this hard to troubleshoot an
autonumber problem. Except for digesting 400 files in the book, it
should work like a champ, but it is not. What stupid thing am I doing
wrong?

TIA,
